Which hotels would be part of the stay if I didn't want to stay in the hostel option? And what would the overall fee be if I were to choose to stay in a hotel?

This price is valid from now to the 25th December 2027 but has blackouts during New Years days, Carnaval and Easter Holidays. There is also a SGL private Hostel option if the hotel option is too high: 461 USD per person SINGLE Hostel choice

Yes, we can make a tailormade version of this trip for you. You would arrive on day 1, have the Rio City Tour on day 2, and leave on day 3, correct? As for the dates, we can accommodate you whenever it's most convenient for you. Were you interested in staying in Hostel Shared Dorm, Hostel Private Room or Hotel 3*/4*?

would you please provide me the detail for the accommodations, i.e. size of bed, shared/private bathroom, locations.

We had a fantastic trip, even being on a bus for 31 hours added to the experience. The tours were well organised, fun to be on and good value for money, especially the white water rafting in Argentina. The hostels were basic but comfortable and had there own trips and experiences you could join which we did. The only criticism is that I wouldn't have done the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls, the Brazilian side was a far better experience and enough to see the falls and another day on the other side wasn't needed, replace it with another trip would be my advice. All in all it was a fantastic trip and great value for money. We added a 3 night stay in Manaus in the Amazon on Anaconda island before the trip started, it was a great experience too.Show more
